  • Title: [Sexual aspects of physician-patient relations].
    Author: Abbondanza M, Antonioli G, Rostagno M, Ruspa G.
    Journal: Minerva Ginecol; 1990; 42(7-8):317-9. PubMed ID: 2293076.
    Abstract:
    The emotional aspects of the doctor-patient relationship are often overlooked in clinical training, as are the sexual problems. A questionnaire was drawn up in order to obtain further information about the gynecologist's emotional reactions during pelvic examination. An analysis of the results suggests that the doctor's emotional reaction during pelvic examination is not the same in both sexes, whereas both sexes show equal concern for the patient's sexual activity. This suggests that adequate technical and emotional training is necessary in order to establish a good relationship between the gynecologist and the patient.
